Musharraf Takes Oath; Nawaz Sharif to Boycott Elections

The Nawaz Sharif-led All Parties Democratic Movement (APDM) — with the exception of Fazlur Rahman’s JUI-F — will boycott the upcoming elections.

Bhutto’s People’s Party will take part in the polls. She has also deferred the restoration of the judiciary to once the new parliament comes in.

Earlier today, Pervez Musharraf took the oath for the presidency in civilian garb. He said, “I think we are coming out of the storm” and that “come hell or high water, elections will be held on January 8.  Nobody [will] derail [them].”

The storm, in fact, appears to be coming back onshore.

    President is doing what ever he can do bring democracy back and this so called politicians are what ever they can do derail it.

    Mr. President, I and many of my friends and colleagues salute you for your sincere efforts, for the development of Pakistan.

    And this silent majority is with you.

    You did take some wrong decisions but now even those seems to be right. We admire your far sighting and your dedication for the people of Pakistan and development of this great nation.
